Getting a router or IoT device online with a Simbase SIM is mostly the same everywhere: confirm the device supports the right frequency bands and network technology for your region, insert the SIM, connect to the device's admin panel, and set the APN to simbase. The exact menus differ by manufacturer, which is why each device has its own guide here.
What's in here
Check your device is compatible before you deploy, confirm your device's frequency bands and network technology (2G/3G/4G LTE/NB-IoT/LTE-M) before you buy hardware or ship it to a site. Covers the 2G-only pitfall in the US, Canada, and Australia.
Configure a Fritz!Box router with a Simbase SIM, hardware setup, connecting at
169.254.1.1, and setting the APN and roaming settings.Configure a Teltonika TRB140 with a Simbase SIM, manual APN setup or a ready-to-paste configuration script, plus optional remote access, PING reboot, and SMS reboot.
Configure a Teltonika RUT240/241 with a Simbase SIM, the same manual and scripted setup as the TRB140, adapted for the RUT240/241's IP, Wi-Fi, and GPS.
Configure a GL.iNet GL-X300B (Collie) with a Simbase SIM, hardware setup, APN configuration, and optional remote access via port forwarding or GL.iNet's GoodCloud.
Set up a private network with OpenVPN or IPsec, give a group of SIMs static IPs on an isolated subnet, then connect over OpenVPN for quick access or IPsec for a two-way tunnel.
